✓ Works by increasing the skin cell turnover rate and helps gently exfoliate the skin

Tretin cream in a big 30g tube with tretinoin (aka Yellow peel or Retinol peel) concentration equal to 0.025% or 0.05% is made by reputable H&H Company.Tretinoin widely used as a chemical peel component for skin peeling procedures. Main ingredient is a retinoic acid (Vitamin A or stable strong medical grade Retinol).

Description

What is Tretin® tretinoin 0.025-0.05 retinol cream

Tretin tretinoin cream is used to treat fine wrinkles, dark spots, or rough skin on the face caused by damaging rays of the sun. It works by lightening the skin, replacing older skin with newer skin, and by slowing down the way the body removes skin cells that may have been harmed by the sun. Tretinoin cream works best when used within a skin care program that includes protecting the treated skin from the sun. Tretin is available without prescription in okdermo skin care store.

All-trans-retinoic acid, aka tretinoin is an active form of retinol (vitamin A). In nature, it can be found both in vegetable substances and in animal products. It is capable of making bonds with nuclear receptors and initiating a cellular response with their help. It is worth mentioning that almost all cells in a body are sensitive to tretinoin. To prevent it accumulation in tissues, which in many cases may lead to various side effects, only small amount of product should be used on particular areas only. The result of Tretin cream application is active exfoliation, which leads to epidermis renewal at the cellular level, the quality of the extracellular matrix of the dermis is also considerably improved.

Retinoic acid is a chemical peel and belongs to skin treatments with a short recovery period. Retinoids (synthesized equivalents of vitamin A) regulate the processes of differentiation, proliferation, and intercellular communication. When retinoids get into a cell, they make a bond with nuclear sensors. As a result, particular sections of the cell genome are activated or decelerated.

Since the main effect of retinoids on cells is produced through nuclear sensors (through nuclear receptors and specific molecular activation mechanisms), they can be included in the same category as thyroid and steroids. The main advantages of this treatment are minimal skin damage, a brief recovery period and a low probability of complications.

Tretin cream (Retin-A) is clearly a powerful skin care treatment, but there are tricks for using it to get the greatest benefits.

Always apply it to your skin at bedtime. Never use it during the day and totally avoid the sunlight.

Never layer tretinoin with benzoyl peroxide and ideally don’t apply it when you also have acid products on your skin like vitamin C, glycolic acid or salicylic acid.

Always wait at least 15-30 minutes after cleansing and applying any other skin care products to your skin before you apply tretinoin cream.

Benefits of using tretinoin 0.025-0.05 retinoic acid peel

Tretinoin helps to lighten the skin and prevent age spots by the way of exfoliating and deep chemical penetration capabilities.

Tretinoin builds collagen to thicken and increase the structural strength of treated skin.

Tretinoin helps to decrease a person’s risk of developing skin cancer. (This should be reason enough!)

Skin just looks better and younger when use tretinoin.

Despite the many benefits of Tretin cream therapy to prevent wrinkles and other issues of aging skin, it can result in some issues if it’s not used correctly. For instance, when starting tretinoin therapy, you need to begin with “pearl-sized” portions for the face, neck, and chest. It is important to begin using it gradually to allow your skin to adjust. Its recommended to use it twice a week (every third night) for the first couple of months. During this time, understand that a little scaliness and irritation is normal at first, but if the treated skin becomes really sensitive, back off the tretinoin for a bit. Let your skin return to normal before you begin the treatment again. As your skin adjusts, slowly try to increase to using it every night.

I have been using tretinoin since my early 20’s when I began to suffer from cystic acne, and I have never really stopped using it – over 25 years. YOU MUST WEAR SUNBLOCK if you use this. I always put on sunblock, always. I wish I had been this vigilant when I was in my twenties – would have saved me some money on laser treatments.

This stuff is such a pain to use! After you use it your skin peels for days. I originally bought if for clogged pores that nothing would help with and it didn’t work as amazingly as I had hoped. So for a few months I used it for an acne spot treatment, which it worked amazing for. But the last couple months I’ve been been using it for pitted scaring and amazing isn’t even a big enough word! For the last 20 years I have had pitted scaring (on my nose of all places) and even though I’ve mastered the art of covering them up (spackling miracle-blur) it has caused me so much anxiety and caused me to feel so self-counciousness. I have 3 holes right down the middle of my nose for everyone to wonder what the hell happened (acne happened, don’t pick your acne) and I was starting to lose hope in fixing them (ps don’t dermaroll your nose). I use 0.05% 1 or 2 times a week, or when ever I have time to look peely-freaky for the next couple of days and I pretty much shed an entire layer of skin. A few months of this and the scars are a third of what they were! SO amazed! They have become not that big of a deal at all. Oh and I forgot to mention I’ve never been to the dermatologist but heard people online highly recommending this shop under the name “okdermo”, I ordered, it took 3 weeks to get from okdermo to Canada. I’m not sure what people usually pay but this seemed very worth it to not have to pay to see a dermatologist. Overall, totally worth it 🙂

Noah –July 6, 2016

My pores first got big and weird, and the skin on my forehead began to grey out and get a coarse texture. I was afraid but persisted through the “dark night”. Eventually the coarse skin went away especially when I did salicylic acid. Although I don’t have pure “baby skin” since I didn’t peel in sheets, tretinoin has “calmed down” my skin a lot and I feel that I now have more of a clean slate

My ex girlfriend turned me onto Retin A as she has beautiful skin. I have been using .05% and mixed it with a night moisturizer and pine cone extract. The colour is a bit dark as the extract is brown. After 3 months of nightly use the results are amazing when used in this combo. My crows feet around my eyes are almost unnoticeable. The wrinkles that used to be on my forehead are gone. I don’t wake up with bags under my eyes either. I’m 54 and people comment that I look years younger as my skin is radiant and glows. My miracle cream…

Guy Chandler –September 21, 2016

It will most likely dry out your skin a bit in the beginning, you will probably get some flakiness and peeling. Give it some time and peeling will eventually stop, it’s part of the exfoliating process. I would highly recommend starting with lower concentration initially. And start slow, once every few days or so and slowly build up. Also remember to balance out the dryness with good oil-free mositurizer.

I live in sunny California and I waited till November when the sun is less harsh to start. I’ve been using Tretin 0.025% for a bit more than 9 months. I have sensitive rosacea prone skin and it took me some time to build up my skin tolerance to this cream. I’ve started by using it ones a week (my skin was pink and peeling terribly) and built it up to three times a week without any visible irritation. Do I notice any improvement? – It keeps my rosacea fully invisible, but I don’t see any anti-aging benefits, unfortunately, maybe strength is not so high as required.

Emanuel J –April 19, 2017

I’m 68 and have used Tretinoin for four months. The first 2-3 weeks of use my skin did peel and burn. After putting this product on at night, I use an oil serum and a night moisturizer. It helps to soothe my skin. I love this product and I get so many compliments on my smooth and younger looking skin. If you’re getting your face waxed, don’t use this 1-2 days before. My skin burned. I use daily moisturizer and sunscreen daily over Tretinoin.

Overall, I really really like tretinoin Tretin cream, it cleared up my skin quickly and nicely. Its side effects are a pain in the butt to deal with but I get lots of compliments on my skin now and definitely feel better about it. I have had friends try this product and have the complete opposite affect so it really depends on the person.

Brad Chavez –January 9, 2018

Use it only at night and follow the instructions. DO NOT put it on right after the shower, the mositure on your skin will worsen the peeling. Wait for 15 minutes, then apply the cream. DO NOT use it as a spot treatment, instead take a pea sized amount and then gently spread out on your skin. Using it as a spot treatment will also worsen the peeling. The cream is also great for fading acne scars and preventing wrinkle, so it will exfoliat your skin all around. At last wait for an hour for the cream to sink in then apply oil free moisturizer. Another option is to do all your routine first and wait for some time, then put this on right before going to bed.

Im a religius retinol user, since 5 years ago (im 32 now) once i hit 30 i started to use tretinoin (Tretin brand) and no more on the counter expensive retinol creams. it helped me with my acne scars from my youth and cleaned up my pores. i only used it one week straight at night then off for two weeks and then a week again. just make sure to use a very good spf in the morning and since it can be very drying i like to use it a pea size amount after my hydrating toner/lotion (i use hyalugel hyaluronic acid gel) let it sit for 30mnt and moisturise with any medical grade stuff.

Definitely recommend Tretin cream for aging skin, firstly recommend to use low-tretinoin consistency 0.025% and after go deeper with 0.05% and 0.1% creams. My skin became more youthful, without pigmentation, brighter, wrinkles and fine lines became less visible and its only within first 2 months of usage, i’m pretty impressed! Thanks Tretin! Will use it all my life, would recommend it to everyone who have signs of aging, wrinkles, color fading, discoloration etc problems. My doctors say that they dont prescribe tretinoin for anti-aging purposes. So I got it without doc (thanks okdermo.com).
